Yo!!! Things have begun to really get crazy in this life called College. I haven't had too much work yet, but things are beginning to pile up thanks to the fact that finals draws near. That's gonna be a dent in update frequency, but I'm not quitting the fic.

Chapter 15: Assault on Red: A Demon's Might!

(This isn't real! A demon!? He is a demon!?) Red said, as he felt Satoshi's chakra pulsing with inhuman power. "Face me." Satoshi said, his voice half human half demon. He then thrust his hand forward, and a blue claw shot at Red, who dodged it. Both nin scowled at each other, for different reasons.

(That boy has a demon inside of him!? I need to warn Zan.) (This bastard hasn't been killed quick enough!) Satoshi then slammed his hands into the ground, and he really roared as another tail shot out. "What!?" Red said, as Satoshi's second tail shot right at Red, who tried to slice through it with his sword.

The electric shock that came with that action forced Red to drop his sword, and glare. "The hell!?" Red screamed in anger, before Satoshi charged at him, his right hand sparking with demonic electricity. Red never stood a chance. Satoshi's fist slammed right through his head, and ripped half his head off.

"Heh…killed your last chance to find Hinata…" Red said, before he died and turned into black dust. Satoshi roared, as two more tails appeared, and his appearance began to get engulfed by the blue chakra.

Koji slammed the door open that held the demonic chakra, and what he saw caused his eyes to widen with fear. "No…I am too late…" Koji muttered, and Naruto ran in. "What the hell are you-!?" Naruto saw what Koji was looking at, and his eyes widened as well. Kiba and Sai also walked in, and Kiba's eyes widened as well. Satoshi was on all fours, four striped tails were on his backside, and he looked like a miniature demon cat.

"Wha-wha-what the hell is that!?" Kiba screamed. "That is my brother." They all turned to Koji, who looked away. "He had a demon sealed in him when he was born. Gatto, the Nine-Tailed Cat." Koji said, and Naruto's eyes really widened. "He is just like me…" Naruto muttered to himself.

"Do any of you have any issue trying to kill Satoshi?" Koji asked, and Naruto glared at him. "You are his brother!!! Why the hell are you trying to kill him!?" Naruto screamed. "He said it himself that he wanted me to kill him should it ever come to this!!" Koji screamed as his single eye stared at Naruto intensely.

"I am honoring his word! If you don't care to help me, then back the fuck off!!!" Koji screamed, as he raised the headband covering his left eye, showing his blue Tarogan Eye. "Don't worry brother. If I cannot get you to change back, then I will fulfill your promise." Koji said, as his eye began to change black.

"Now, SHADOW REALM!!!" Koji screamed, as he caught Satoshi's eyes. "What did he do!?" Kiba screamed, as Koji held Satoshi's gaze. "I am not sure." Sai said. Both nin had stopped moving, before Koji's eyes widened, and he shot back by some force. Akamaru managed to catch Koji, who looked completely exhausted. "I weakened the demon's control a little, but Satoshi still needs to be defeated before the demon will let go." Koji muttered, before he passed out. "That sounds like our cue!" Naruto said, as Kiba took his stance next to Akamaru, and Sai pulled out his scroll and paint brush.

Satoshi roared, and shot his four tails out, and the three nin hopped out of the way as it created a large explosion in the ground near where they were. "That is some power." Naruto said, as Kiba made the seal. "Come on Akamaru! Ninja Art of Beast Mimicry: Man Beast Clone!!" Kiba said, as he hopped into the air.

Akamaru hopped as well, and both nin and nin-dog were more wild looking versions of Kiba. Both nin and dog tried to attack, but Satoshi didn't even move, instead both Kibas had to back off because there was a harsh shock that triggered when they got to close.

"We can't attack him up-front!" Kiba screamed, and Satoshi roared. He slammed his claws into the ground, as he opened his mouth. "What is he planning?" Naruto asked, and Sai's eyes widened. He grabbed his largest scroll, and began to draw furiously. Satoshi roared, as a large amount of condensed chakra was forming at his mouth.

"That pressure! It can't be!" Kiba screamed. "He is forming condensed chakra that powerful!? And at the base of his mouth!?" Naruto screamed, as Satoshi roared, and the beam shot out. Sai hopped up, and his drawing came to life, taking the impact, and creating a large explosion.

The dust settled, and Naruto and Kiba were surprised to see that they were mostly unharmed. They turned to Sai, who was off in the corner, looking beat up. "He took the attack with his ink." Naruto said, and Kiba growled.

"Akamaru!! Let's go!! Ninja Art of Beast Mimicry: Twin Headed Wolf!!" Kiba screamed, as him and Akamaru transformed into a giant two headed wolf. "Now!! Howling Wolf Fang!!!" The Wolf began to spun, and charge at Satoshi, who remained stationary. The Wolf hit the barrier that Satoshi erected and Kiba's wolf shot back. Naruto shot forward, and growled.

"I will save you Satoshi!!" Naruto screamed, as his Rasengan began to become even more powerful than his original one. "Now! RasenShuriken!!" Naruto screamed, as the Rasengan in his hand became a Rasengan with what looked like a Fuuma Shuriken surrounding it. He slammed it into Satoshi, who roared in pain, before he was blasted into the air by the tornado formed by the attack.

Satoshi roared, before he returned to normal, his skin singed, and electricity bursting off his body, as though he was paralyzed. He fell to the ground, as Kiba tried to rouse Koji and Akamaru caught Satoshi.

10 minutes later the team sat around an unconscious Satoshi who was still being shocked with paralysis, and Sai, who Kiba and Koji were trying to awaken. "Man. This guy…" Naruto muttered. "Brother should be okay. He is strong in will." Koji said, and Naruto nodded. "I know." Naruto said.

"He better wake up. If he wants to find Hinata." Kiba muttered. "He needs time to rest, and time for his muscles to be free of paralysis. We also need time for Sai to heal and wake up." Koji said, and the others who were conscious nodded. "Seems like we are stuck here for a while." Kiba said, and Koji smiled.

"I say it's a good thing. Our teamwork is much better now." Koji said, and Kiba smirked. "I guess if you look at it like that…" Kiba said. "Hope they get up soon. We need to save Hinata-chan and Mika-chan." Naruto said. "They will be alright." Koji said, as he looked at a camera, and saw a chamber with a orb in it.

"Huh? Is that a Shinobi Orb?" Koji asked, and Naruto recognized it. "Mika-chan!!!" Naruto screamed, leaving the room. "Seems like victory for him…" Koji said. He noted that Naruto's RasenShuriken hand was twitching in pain, and he used Tarogan to check the chakra in Naruto's hand, and what he saw surprised him.

The chakra flow in his hand looked like it burned out, and seemed weaker. He turned to Satoshi, and saw that in a small area, his chakra was completely gone. (What an attack. It hit at such a atomic level that the chakra in Satoshi's body has been destroyed at a molecular level. He probably won't ever recover that chakra ever again…) Koji then turned to Naruto.

(At Naruto's expense. He may never be able to form chakra with that hand again if he uses that attack too many times…) Koji then pulled his headband back over his Tarogan Eye, and smiled. (How can anyone be selfless enough to make their hands useless to save a friend?)

ShadowRonin: Only Naruto would be selfless enough to sacrifice himself for a friend. Mika is saved, but the other kunoichi and shinobi are having their own problems.
